Chapter 50 – Carnal Violence

• “Fay!” Kent yells the moment he walks into his house, storming down the hall.
• His household staff freeze and then scatter when they sense that something is wrong. Kent is passively pleased by this – they, at least, know their place.
• Still, Fay doesn’t answer him. Kent calls for her again, heading up the steps at a brisk pace. When he arrives at her room he pushes open her door, not bothering to knock, ready to tell her to learn to come when she’s called.
